Lenox 1770655 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1770655 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for high-performance metal cutting in professional shop and field environments. It measures 10 feet 10.5 inches in overall length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade runs a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set, reducing vibration and improving cut quality across a wide range of material thicknesses. The M42+ high speed steel tooth tips deliver extended edge life on hard and abrasive materials. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople on compatible horizontal and vertical bandsaw equipment.

The 1770655 is suited for cutting a broad range of materials in production and maintenance environments. Its variable pitch and positive rake angle make it effective on solid bar stock, structural sections, bundles, and tubing across multiple material types. Stated material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is designed for operations requiring consistent, repeatable cuts with minimal blade deflection on demanding workpieces.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip loading
• M42+ high speed steel teeth provide increased wear resistance on hard alloys and titanium
• Bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with HSS tooth tips for flexibility and edge durability
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting with lower feed force
• 0.0580-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• QXP series designation; toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock blade for bandsaw machines accepting a 10 feet 10.5-inch welded loop blade that is 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify your machine manufacturer specifications for blade length, width, thickness, and tooth pitch range before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension, guide bearing clearance, and wheel tracking according to the bandsaw manufacturer service documentation before running. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Do not exceed the blade speed rating for the material being cut.
